课程特征 Course Features：
The MSc in Automotive Engineering provides an opportunity for in-depth study of the engineering that enables and drives forward this vital worldwide industry. The key components of the course cover:
•design, with a focus on vehicle chassis and performance
•sustainability
•reliability
•aerodynamics
•issues of comfort like noise, vibration and harshness.
Teaching is based in our purpose-designed engineering building on the Wheatley Campus.
课程内容 Course Content ：
Compulsory modules:
•Advanced Chassis Engineering will give you a thorough understanding of the relevant theoretical and practical considerations associated with optimising vehicle performance. You will learn to apply advanced vehicle dynamic analysis techniques such as the derivative method and learn how to optimise suspension on our four-post rig.
•Performance Vehicle Design is a group research and development project on a topic relevant to vehicle engineering.
•Sustainable Vehicle Engineering presents the concepts of sustainability and applies them to issues facing vehicle engineering and transport, such as the manufacturing processes, carbon foot-printing, materials of construction and choice of powertrain.
•Advanced Engineering Management provides you with an understanding of the management skills and knowledge that are important in engineering industries.
Alternative-compulsory modules (you must pass at least one of these):
•Noise, Vibration and Harshness looks at the analysis, quantification, characterisation and diagnosis of the noise, vibration and harshness of automotive components and assemblies.
•Vehicle Crash Engineering will give you an understanding of material, component and structural behaviour when subjected to medium-to-high-impact events. This includes the design, testing and modelling of motorsport and automotive vehicles with regard to crash worthiness.
Optional modules (you take one of these, unless you take both alternative-compulsory modules above):
•Advanced Vehicle Aerodynamics focuses on the problem of how to design vehicle shapes and aerodynamic packages that enhance the vehicle performance.
•Engineering Reliability and Risk Management covers the principles and techniques for improving the reliability of engineering components and systems, predicting their life and managing technical risk.
•Advanced Materials Engineering and Joining Technology looks at the detailed processing and design of advanced materials for engineering products. The significance of the properties and composition of materials is explored in relation to the selection of joining processes and optimising joint design, for the manufacture of high-performance engineering products and structures.
•CAD/CAM is a master's level module that develops skills in using state-of-the-art design and manufacturing software.
•Advanced Powertrain Engineering provides an understanding of areas such as powertrain system requirements, energy flow in the driveline, engine and powertrain modelling concepts for evaluating the performance of Powertrain systems.
•Advanced Strength of Components is concerned with the prediction of the load-carrying capacity and life of mechanical engineering components by an analysis of factors such as inelastic behaviour, residual stress, stability, cracks, and fatigue and contact loading.
